2019 IPA Final 4 Series
(best-of-seven games)

Ruthlandian Union

Snappers Slug 6 HRs, Sweep Tars
We knew that Rocky Rapids had good pitching, yet we didn't expect them to outslug the powerful Taranto Tars, but they did and in a big way... the Snappers slugged 6 homers to blast Taranto 8-3 in game four of the Ruthlandian Final 4 and sweep the series in decisive fashion... Joe Anderson (3-0 2.57) held the big Tar bats at bay, permitting only 4 hits with 6 Ks and 4 walks... only 2B Ed Miles (.429) did much damage with 2 hits, including a homer and 3 RBIs... meanwhile Rocky Rapids rocked Randy Pitri for 5 homers and Pat Pappas for one... 1B Don Timmons (.375) cracked 2 into the bleachers and batted in 4 runs, giving him 5 homers and 12 RBIs for the postseason... and RF Tiger Noland (.300), SS Joel Williams (.148), 2B Paul Shelton (.281) and CF Carl Johnson (.353) all connected for the distance... Pietri lost it, surrendering 5 hits and 5 runs in 7 innings... this will be the Snappers first appearance in the IPA Pro Cup Finals... they were swept by Eastshore in the first round two years ago and lost to Ancona in the Final 4 last season in a surprising upset.
